Superhealing: Engaging Your Mind, Body, and Spirit to Create Optimal Health and Well-Being (ARC) Read Online Free PDF

out, we are currently discovering how this applies to issues of health and well-being. After al , our bodies, like everything else in existence, are made of particles. However, we can be assured that this phenomenon is not theoretical; it rests on experiments.
The evidence for Dossey’s statement is fascinating. A 1993 study

determined that white blood cel s removed from the body continue
to have a persistent, invisible connection to those remaining in the body.20 The army wanted to better understand the influence of emotions on systems that were far apart in location but remained con-
nected.
Scientists scraped white blood cel s from the mouths of volun-
teers. Then, using polygraph probes, they separately monitored the cel s in their test tubes and in their donors. The donors were placed in a room and exposed to emotional y charged videos. While the
donors were watching violent scenes, the polygraph probe detected
that the donors’ white blood cel s in another room down the hal way also became extremely excited, despite the distance. The experiment was repeated with up to a fifty-mile distance between the donor and cel s, and similar results occurred. This experiment gives credence to the belief that all things are connected through an invisible web of life—and things that were once proximate, as they are in the body, are even more entangled.
The army study, the studies of particles done by physicists, and
Dossey’s investigations of the power of prayer reveal a similar con-nectivity and all point to the same thing: at birth, each of us was given access to an infinite mind,a kind of intelligence that is greater than we are but of which we are a part. Although modern medicine would
have us believe that the mind and the brain are one and the same
thing, numerous valid studies have in fact clearly demonstrated that the mind is not limited to the brain or even to the body. Your mind is vaster than your body, and it is also nonlocal, which means that its effect extends far beyond your body and canbe measured physical y.
In fact, your mind is a phenomenon related to the entire web of life.
Fortunately, a growing number of open-minded and occasional y
surprised scientists are now causing a shift in our view of health and 10

disease through their investigations. As news of their observations and findings percolate through our culture, they are quietly ushering in a dramatic paradigm shift by challenging the traditional view of health and disease and, in some cases, dramatical y changing the as-sumptions from which we operate. We are witnessing changes of such epic proportions that I believe only hindsight will clearly show how earthshaking their significance is. Ours is a revolutionary era that’s bringing the truth about healing into the open.
THE LIMITATIONS AND DANGERS
OF MODERN MEDICINE
In one of the most memorable lectures I ever heard in medical
school, “A Tale of Two Cities,” a guest lecturer on epidemiology (the study of disease trends) described a study by medical economist
Victor Fuchs comparing health statistics from Nevada and Utah.21
Although the study’s participants from the two states were nearly
identical in income level, education, and age, the states had strikingly different rates of disease and mortality. The healthier residents were from Utah. Fuchs determined that this could be directly linked to positive lifestyle patterns. The participants from Utah had good diets, exercised regularly, and avoided tobacco, excessive caffeine and alcohol, and drugs. Our lecturer concluded by saying that in the United States, the vast majority of chronic disorders—like heart disease, cancer, diabetes, hypertension, and stroke—can be considered lifestyle diseases. The government has estimated that 85–90 percent of these diseases are preventable.22
I was awed as well as confused by this lecture:
